They have one of the best doner in the city, offering: • Yaprak Doner: Thinly sliced meats stacked on top of each other. • Lamb Doner: Lightly seasoned ground lamb doner. In the video below, you can see my small mixed doner platter with both yaprak doner and lamb doner. It comes with a salad, white rice, homemade bread, and a couple of sauces. They might not have the greatest atmosphere but doner is truly amazing, trust me :) Price: 16.95 tax.

Wow. Have to hand it to them. GREAT tasting & quality food at an amazingly fair price. Place is super clean (please keep it this way!) and staff is friendly. Both of our dishes were delicious with the right attention paid to ingredient quality, prep, and cooking (grilled tomato a nice touch!) We will definitely return. 2024 update - have been a few times since the original review and consistently good. Went recently and had a chicken gyro sandwich. It was OUTSTANDING. I can’t believe they have actually gotten better over time. Plus now open 24 hours!!

I ordered beef doner over rice small portion ( which i think quite big ) The taste is just like the original one. Oil of rice little bit much. Salad on the side so tasty. Beef cooked well which is good for me.

Quick, easy and delicious little spot, open all day and serving up super fresh Turkish dishes and classics. We tried their loaded Fries and loaded wrap, filled with chicken and lamb and were super happy and super full. The lamb gyro meat here was very special and noticeably superior to other spots in the area, would def try their lamb.

Excellent food, Excellent service, Excellent Price. Best Halal food, they have three different Gyro (doner), Halal Gyro Lovers you can find your perfect meal. Also their chicken soup is similar to mother’s style very very like it. Always have quality stuff, thanks for everything. Will come back soon and try others.

Ankara Turkish Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere. The food was exceptional—each dish bursting with authentic Turkish flavors. The lamb kebabs were perfectly tender, and the baklava was the best I’ve ever had. The staff was attentive and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner or a special night out, this place is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back!

I can never complain going here. There’s not a lot of good doner spots in the city. Ankara always scratches the itch. Their bread is very good which I think makes the difference. Prices are fair. And you can get beer. Open until 3am. All good stuff.
